THE STORY:

The DSA of DE will be participating in the The 2nd Annual Delaware Charity Challenge Winter Games. The Games will take place Saturday, January 7, 2017 in Wilmington, Delaware. The Winter Games will consist of the Race to Raise (beginning in October) and an indoor triathlon competition (featuring running, rowing, and biking), along with other fun competitions and opportunities for nonprofits and businesses to raise money and awareness for their favorite causes.

The DSA of DE will have teams consisting of three althletes, each of our teams will be mixed male and females teams and will have participants with Down syndrome on each team. Our goal for this competition is develop a training and fitness programs for teens and adults with Down syndrome. Our plan is to use this competition as a way to encourage activity and fitness in individuals with Down syndrome with the support of our training partners/teammates. We will have a fitness/training program for 6 weeks prior to the competition to allow participants to have exposure to the setting and equipment they will be using at the event.
